Making Web3 & DAOs Funny Again | Frank America from The Rug

#031 - Welcome to another episode of Quorum, where we believe that contributing to a DAO is the best way to find engaging and rewarding work in the new Web3 economy. 

In today’s show I spoke with Frank America, Co-Founder of The Rug — which is a “mostly credible” news source, selling limited edition NFTs of articles that satirize Web3 events.

We discussed: how to come to consensus on what’s funny in Web3, building a decentralized writers room, Frank and my favorite headlines from The Rug, and why Web3 is so serious.

More about The Rug:

One thing that becomes apparent if you work in the Web3 space is that there’s a lot of crazy stuff happening... 

People are gaining and losing millions of dollars, new technologies are being built (and dying), sometimes in a matter of months. It’s an emerging space that is incredibly exciting, but also kind of scary.

The thesis for why the Rug exists is simple: Let’s make fun of this craziness. The Rug offers a break from the gravity of “trying to build the next internet”, to remind you to take a break and to laugh at yourself or at least this industry for a little while.

Listen to this episode to hear more about their writing process, some of their top articles, and how you can contribute to The Rug as a writer.
